Restoring using another device

You can restore using a device other than that used for backup. For details, see the
online Help index: "restore, selecting devices for".

Disaster recovery

Disaster recovery is very complex, involving different products from different vendors.
Check the instructions from the guest operating systems and VMware on how to
prepare for it.
The following are the main steps needed to recover a virtual machine after a disaster:
1. Reinstall the VMware environment. The configuration should be the same as
during the backup. Although the new VMware management client and
datacenters may have different names, ensure that the datastores have the same
names as the original ones. Otherwise, the restore fails.
2. Install Data Protector in the newly configured environment.
